The Witcher: My backyard leads to London

Off the court.

Next to Theresa.

Victoria looked at Ricardo and Teresa, whom she had only glanced at when they entered the venue. At this moment, they became the focus of the audience, the first person in the two families' status.

At this time, her mood was full of emotions.

The original pride of receiving the admission letter from the Royal Capital Knight Academy has been shattered.

She looked at Teresa and bit her lip in amusement. The white gloves that were originally clenched in her hands no longer had the courage to hand them out.

"Congratulations, my good sister, Theresa!"

She spoke slowly while maintaining aristocratic etiquette.

"Congratulations to you too, Victoria!"

Teresa understood that Victoria was no longer prepared to ruin the atmosphere of the evening and continue the duel, so she felt a little relaxed.

"I will become a junior wizard apprentice as soon as possible. Then you will understand me. Congratulations to me more!"

"Victoria, your studies at the Royal Capital Knight Academy will go smoothly. We will all have a bright future!"

Theresa said to Victoria sincerely.

"...Everyone will have a bright future..."

Victoria's heart surged again.

As a fierce rival and sister for many years, she naturally heard the details in the words: Theresa was very close to becoming a wizard's apprentice.

Once promoted, he will be a third-level junior wizard apprentice...and a third-level junior knight...double third-level...wait, how did she have the confidence to pick me up for a duel just now?

Victoria looked at Teresa in surprise and found that the other person's aura seemed to be the same as her own, and she intuitively felt that the other person was a bit mysterious.

"Theresa, your knight level...is also level four?"

she asked anxiously.

"Yeah. He broke through on the battlefield against the Wind Wolf Territory!"

Teresa replied.

When Victoria heard the words "fourth level" and "battlefield", she immediately relaxed, but she was no longer able to squeeze the white gloves in her hands.

The white gloves in her hand fell down so lightly.

When the white gloves fell, they hit the corner of the dark knight's uniform and stuck to it.

She lowered her head slightly and looked at the white gloves on her dark clothes. For a moment, she thought they were the white flags of her surrender.

…

The party resumed.

The lawn musicians who had been stopped for announcing the ceremony started playing music again.

Ricardo walked past the crowds of people full of congratulations and compliments, and he and Lorient came to the purification ceremony circle just now.

Ricardo picked up the cursed dagger in the assassin's hand just now.

Lorient took it.

"Is there a problem?"

"It doesn't seem like the Order of Evil Thieves. It looks like the kind of curse Cohen suffered when you and Lady Harp killed him last time."

Lorient turned the dagger over, checked it, and said:

"This line should be related to the tombs of vampire undead slaves that have been unearthed several times in the Panxue Mountains, but it has nothing to do with the power of nightmares, so it cannot be involved in any major meritorious cases."

"But it may involve the tomb treasure... Well, Paris has been pursuing this line. You heard recently that Paris was trapped by some evil spirit. Most likely he is in that tomb."

"He has accumulated enough merits now, but he lacks treasures."

Ricardo also mentioned to Lorient the assassination that occurred that night.

"It involves a curse. This matter can be placed in the Demon Hunter Knight. I will use the power of the Demon Hunter Knight to help you investigate. The killer should be from the Night Crow Guild in Pansen County. I heard that the Scout Mentor of the Thieves Guild is also among them. .”

Probably because he owed Ricardo his life, Lorient's attitude towards Ricardo was much more modest.

"Okay, thank you!"

Ricardo thanked him and then mentioned many details, such as the connection between a guest named Idam and the assassin among them.

Lorient smiled.

Probably because Paris was too busy this weekend and the past few days, Ricardo could see that Paris had not yet told Lorient that the pen pal had given him key information to delay the death of Lorient's wife and the birth of Lorient's daughter. .

However, for him to take the initiative now would be to take credit and increase the burden of favors.

It would be better to let others speak out about this kind of thing.

"By the way, as you said before, the evil spirit of the Mirror Shop has the ability to possess and manipulate people. There will be a follow-up to the official attention."

"The Demon Hunter Knight discovered that something was wrong with the Adventurer's Guild team that left the Mirror Shop. Now that team member has disappeared, and the Demon Hunter Knight is tracking them down."

"This matter can be regarded as a meritorious service for you. Miss Vera is also very kind to you. There are really a lot of merits calculated for you, although the mirror shop is indeed related to the Evil Thief Cult.' The reason for keywords such as 'mirror', 'ice and snow' and 'destiny'. But haven't you noticed? You originally took the rank of lieutenant in the Exorcist Alliance process, but did you get the rank of captain? There are still one hundred square kilometers The territory was also added to you by Miss Vera and exchanged for a small part of the extra merit you received."

said Lorient, who seemed curious about the relationship between Ricardo and Mademoiselle Vera.

Naturally, Ricardo would not reveal Miss Vera's plan.

He has clearly seen Vera's energy in the past few days: from letting the provincial central noble council immediately pass the territorial revenge review, and then sending personnel to monitor and quickly grant the title. Also, in the Exorcist Alliance, he directly gave himself more merit points, raised an additional military rank, and simply exchanged his merits for territory.

He was already very curious about Vera's true identity, and he asked Lorient.

"...Probably a high-level person in the Constellation Church, or even if he is not a high-level person, he is someone who has the opportunity to become a high-level person in the future. But I also feel that she may have some reasons, maybe she is not interested, and she does not seem to be a traditional person. Church big shot.”

"A big shot like her has been sitting in a small place like Sargang County. I speculate that the plan of the Evil Thief Cult may involve her. But she doesn't seem to be interested in tracking down the Evil Thief Cult personally. Instead, she often works in the office Third floor, do some pen drawings. I really don’t understand.”

Lorient mentioned that he actually didn't know any more information about Miss Vera. All that he knew was accidentally leaked by his brother.

"By the way, Lady Hedwig seems to have missed you a little. She asked me to mention it to you when I come over."

"oh?"

Ricardo was a little surprised that the owl missed him.

He immediately thought of something.

He quickly found a small room, took out an ordinary linen bag, then unpacked small dried fish, dried fruits, dried meat, etc. from modern times and stuffed a bunch of them into it.

Ricardo walked out of the room carrying the braided linen bag and handed it to Lorient.

"Here, deliver it to Lady Hedwig as soon as possible."

"I came here on a wildebeest. It was very fast."

Lorient was curious about the contents of the linen bag, but he didn't ask any more questions. After bidding farewell to Ricardo, he left the manor directly and returned to the county.

Ricardo was a little envious of Lorient's new carriage. He thought that if he were richer due to his achievements, he would also replace it with a Galloping Horse carriage.

…

During the second half of the party, Ricardo became fully involved.

From Thursday night on the modern calendar two weeks ago to this Thursday night, he was running around on all kinds of things.

Now I can finally relax a bit.

He met many elders whom he was familiar with when he was a child, as well as various younger generations who have grown up much now.

Although the father, the old Lord, is no longer there, the lively atmosphere of the two families has been restored with the disappearance of the bandit group.

Ricardo also mentioned that in the future, a small wizard apprentice training center might be built at the intersection of Blossom Manor, Ice Lake Castle and the new road.

It attracted the interest of many younger generations.

After annihilating the bandits, conquering the Wind Wolf Territory, and being promoted to baron, Ricardo's reputation in the two families reached its peak, and would quickly spread to the two counties in the future.

…

The next day.

Ricardo woke up in the bedroom of the main building of Fanhua Manor. He rarely slept for a long time that night.

There were too many people participating in the family gathering. Panxue Forest Manor could not accommodate so many people, especially many of them had noble status. Originally, some knight manors on the east side of Golden Deer Territory would provide accommodation. Now with the completion of the new road repairs , Ice Lake Castle can also arrange some accommodation.

As for Fanhua Manor, Ricardo liked to be quiet and did not allow much arrangement.

Not long after he got up, he heard the good news about Theresa.

"Sir, I have successfully carved my first inscription!"

Teresa told Ricardo excitedly.

After Ricardo inquired, it turned out that Theresa had dreamed of the little angel Celia again at night, and she had been trying to engrave before going to bed. After getting up early, she found that the engraving went very smoothly.

She successfully carved the first inscription 'Hand of the Mage'.

Ricardo knew that Theresa had been practicing copying scrolls for nearly ten years after she was found to be just shy of being a wizard, and she had never given up.

Now under the influence of Celia's mysterious power, a breakthrough is reasonable.

"The junior wizard apprentice still needs to master the release of three tricks. When you do it, Teresa, you will be a true junior wizard apprentice."

Ricardo congratulated.

He saw Teresa come in with a bag.

"This is?"

"These are the snacks that Celia likes to eat, as well as the clothes and other things I prepared for her..."

Theresa was a little embarrassed, feeling that she was too direct in front of Ricardo like this.

"Okay. I will bring it to Celia for you. When the situation in the bad environment over there changes a little, you sisters can meet."

Ricardo took the bag, and then he also took out a linen bag and put some of the modern food he had prepared into it according to Hedwig's portion.

Of course the packaging has been carefully removed.

After Theresa left, Ricardo took two bags and teleported to the evil realm of the Purple Flower Island Cafe.
